User Manual – PhysioMG Page 10 / 58


4. Operational safety

Occupational Health and Safety – magnetotherapy:


• During the treatment carried out near the head, the patient should wear protective glasses (they are
part of the equipment). The solenoid applicators and CP type plate applicator are equipped with
electroluminescent light indicators signaling the generation of magnetic field.
• It is recommended to keep minimal distance 1m between two optional applicators except the dual
mode.
• During the treatment of magnetotherapy the personnel operating the unit and the bystanders
should not be at the distance less than:
 1 m from any plate magnetic field applicator,
 2 m in the axis of the solenoid applicator (along the couch),
 1 m on the side of the solenoid applicator.
• A long-lasting exposure of personnel and bystanders on magnetic field could cause irritation,
concentration impaired, headache and/or insomnia.
• Before the treatment the patient should take off metal elements of clothing and a watch and remove
metal objects from their pocket. The appropriate prohibition label is placed on the applicator housing.
• In the treatment room with unit for magnetic therapy it is necessary to designate and mark magnetic
field exposure zones in accordance with national regulations.

Therapeutic:
• The device is intended for adult patients only. Minor patients – only on the doctor's
explicit recommendation, after considering contraindications
• Treatments for patients:
 having implanted electronic devices (e.g. a pacemaker),
 metal implants,
 with lesions in the initial EEG test,
 who have experienced epileptic seizures,
 who have undergone neurosurgical operations
should be consulted with the attending physician. In such cases, an individual approach and precise
monitoring of the course of therapy in these individuals is recommended. The attending
physician should assess whether the benefits of using magnetotherapy outweigh the risks resulting
from the above-mentioned factors.
• Before performing the treatment, make sure there are no contraindications to its implementation.
• If the therapy is carried out on ulcerations, decubitus ulcers, burns in the phase with effusion or
post-traumatic wounds in the inflammatory phase, the treated area should be protected with a
sterile dressing, e.g. gauze.
• Act with caution in severe vascular diseases (obliterative arteritis of the lower limbs, diabetic
angiopathy, severe angina pectoris).
• Treatment parameters and the arrangement of the applicators should be consistent with the medical
indications.
• Sitting or reclining position should be applied to the patients with respiratory disorders or
breathing difficulties.
• In case of treatment, when the patient is lying on the couch, his/her head should be directed towards
the headrest or should be resting on it, legs should be directed towards the shelf of the unit.
• The operator should supervise the moment when the patient lies down on the couch and gets up from
it, so that he does not hit or catch on the shelf for the unit and the unit itself.
• It is not recommended to treat pregnant women with magnetotherapy.
• Do not perform treatments on patients under the influence of alcohol.
• Do not perform treatments on patients under the influence of intoxicants.
• Due to the possibility of occurrence of sleep disorders, avoid, if possible, magnetotherapy
treatments carried out in the evening. This applies mainly to the elderly people.
• It is necessary to inform the patient about the sensation of heat – applicators may become hot during
operation (see section 4.4).
• During therapy by means of low-frequency magnetic field the patient should not undergo X-
ray examinations and ionizing radiation.

Also read the information given in chapter 9.3.

4.Operational safety

4.4 Applied parts and working temperature


Magnetic field applicators in general do not require, for the accomplishment of therapeutic function, any
contact with the patient's body. Therefore, they are not directly subject to the definition of an applied part
that complies with the basic safety standard for medical products (in Poland PN-EN 60601-1, in Europe EN
60601-1, both based on IEC 60601-1).

For CP and CPEP plate applicators, for which the patient's body is in contact during the treatments,
the requirements related to acceptable temperatures are met, as for the applied parts. At the point of contact,
the temperature of 41°C is not exceeded.

The solenoid applicators heat up to higher temperatures than the plate applicators due to their design,
principle of operation and expected induction values. Maximum temperatures of solenoid applicators:
• external surface – made of metal – 54°C,
• internal surface – molded material – 62°C.

Limit values according to the standard given in the first paragraph, according to table 23, second row - contact
time 1 – 10 s:
• metals and liquids – the external surface of the applicator – 56°C,
• molded materials, plastic – Internal side of the applicator housing – 71°C.
In case of the solenoid applicators, contact between the housing and the patient's body is rare and the
contact is usually accidental. Temperatures on the surface of the solenoid applicators do not pose threat to
the patient or the operator. The surface temperature of the couch and the pillow in the CS35 applicator do
not exceed 41°C.

The expected benefits of using magnetotherapy outweigh the risks associated with the surface temperatures of
the solenoid applicators.

A label informing about temperatures is placed on the housings of the solenoid applicators.

Figure 4.1. A label informing about the temperatures of the solenoid applicators

4.5 Explosion proof environment


The unit is not adopted to operation in rooms, where combustible gases or their vapors occur. It is
recommended to avoid anesthetic or oxygen derivate gases, such as nitrous oxide (N 2 O) and oxygen. Some
materials, e.g. cotton, after oxygen saturation can be burned at high temperatures generated during normal
use of the device. It is recommended that solutions of adhesive and combustible solvents be vaporized
before equipment is operated. It is also recommended to pay attention to the danger of ignition of
endogenous gases. The unit must be separated from the mains before approaching the disinfection room,
where it is installed.

4.6 Electromagnetic environment


Warnings concerning electromagnetic compatibility are given in the chapter 4.3. The expected places of
operation of the unit are given in Chapter 2.
User Manual – PhysioMG Page 12 / 58
4. Operational safety

Due to the intended use, the unit can be used in hospitals, clinics, outpatient clinics, doctors' and rehabilitation
offices and other health care institutions, under the supervision of qualified personnel.

Simultaneous operation of the unit with devices generating strong electromagnetic field, such as short wave
and microwave diathermies, high frequency surgical equipment, MRI systems, may disturb the unit operation.
For this reason, it is recommended to maintain appropriate distance between these devices or to switch off the
generator of strong fields during therapy with the PhysioMG unit.

The PhysioMG meets requirements of electromagnetic interference emission and immunity standards and
shall not pose a threat to correct operation of the other devices. Compliance levels for emissions and
immunity are given in the chapter 11.2.

Magnetic field applicators are marked with non-ionizing radiation symbol, because they emit electromagnetic
field energy for healing purposes.

7.1 Patient preparation and treatment performance

7.1.1 General information

To perform safe and effective treatment procedure you are obliged to:
• make sure if there are no contraindications to perform the treatment,
• the patient should be placed in a comfortable position while providing relaxation of tissues in the
treatment area, the patient should be in lying position in case of treatment performed near the head,
• sitting or reclining position should be applied to patients with respiratory disorders or breathing
difficulties,
• inform the patient about feelings that may occur during treatment.

The treatment effectiveness depends on the choice of parameters to the current patient’s condition. The
patient’s condition changes over time. Its observation and assessment should take place before, during and
after therapy. Such an action is necessary for changing the parameters in order to adapt them to the actual
condition of the patient.
It is recommended to keep records of treatments including the parameters of therapy, the area of treatment,
treatment technique, dose and symptoms after therapy. If the treatment does not generate the intended
effects, change of treatment parameters should be taken into consideration. It is necessary to continuously
update knowledge and follow literary activities in the scope of therapy.

When performing therapy, it is recommended to follow the guidelines given in the following sections.

7.1.2 Magnetotherapy

• Prior to treatment it is necessary to check the presence of magnetic field by means of magnet (hand
with magnet inserted within the applicator).
• Other types of therapy carried out at the same time do not constitute a counter-indication to use the
therapy of low-frequency magnetic field.
• Treatments may be carried out through clothes, plaster, bandages.
• It is necessary to inform the patient that during treatment they will not sense anything.
• It is necessary to control the feeling of the patient, especially during treatments in the area of the head.
• It is necessary to properly fix the magnetic field applicator to the body of the patient, e.g. by means of
Velcro belts or flexible bands.

Page 27 / 58 Issue date 02.09.2019, release 10.0

8.2.1 The mode of magnetic field generation

PhysioMG has two modes of magnetic field generation: continuous and intermittent.

In continuous mode, the magnetic field is generated with a constant amplitude throughout the duration of the
treatment. This mode is selected by setting the cont value in the “Pause time in the intermittent mode”
parameter.

In the intermittent mode, the magnetic field is generated for 1 s (T imp ), followed by a pause (T pause ).The length
of the gap can be set within the range from 0.5 s to 8 s. Figure 8.3 and Figure 8.4 show the principle of
operation in the intermittent mode.

The spectrum determines the frequency modulation range as a function of time. The frequency is modified
symmetrically with respect to the basic frequency (Figure 8.5).

8. Definitions and parameters

8.3 Limitation of induction with frequency increase


Due to the limited current slope rise rate in the coils of the solenoid applicators, there occurs a phenomenon of
limiting the induction generated in applicators with the increase in frequency. The higher the frequency, the
lower the induction. The characteristics of induction changes measured at the reference point (geometric
center of the applicator) as a function of frequency are presented below.
Legend:

User Manual – PhysioMG Page 44 / 58

The unit also features a mechanism to limit the induction when two applicators are operated simultaneously in
two-channel controllers. The purpose of the protection is to limit the possibility of exceeding the rated
parameters of the components affecting the safety of the unit.

10. Maintenance, cleaning, disinfection


NOTE: The warranty does not cover any damage due to a failure to adhere to the recommendations stated in
this chapter.

NOTE: Before attempting to perform following operations isolate the unit from the mains supply!

The activities of maintenance, cleaning and disinfection of device components should be realized at:
• ambient temperature between +15°C to +30°C,
• relative humidity between 30% to 75%,
• atmospheric pressure between 700 hPa and 1060 hPa (70 – 106 kPa).

These conditions are identical to those defined in chapter 4.2 as operation conditions.

There are no limitations for the number of cleaning and disinfection cycles, procedures should be carried out
during the entire device “life time”.

10.1 Cleaning of touchscreen


NOTE: Before attempting to perform following operations isolate the unit from the mains supply!

It is recommended to clean regularly the touch screen display using a microfiber cloth, preferably designated
for cleaning mirrors or electronic equipment. Gently moisten the cloth with clean water. The cloth should be
drained so that there is no dripping water. The screen should be wiped until removal of all dirt and dust.

The manufacturer does not recommend to use any product designated for cleaning screens, because there
is no guarantee that the chemicals will not lead to faster wear out of touch screen layers.

10.2 Cleaning of the unit and applicators casings


NOTE: Before attempting to perform following operations isolate the unit from the mains supply!

Cleaning of the unit shall be performed with lightly humid sponge or soft cloth with delicate soap solution or
mild detergent. The sponge/cloth should be drained so that there is no dripping water.

Do not use solvents for paints and lacquers. Do not use excessively dampened sponges either, which can
lead to water penetration inside the unit.

Cleaning of the applicators casings shall be performed with lightly humid sponge or soft cloth with delicate
soap solution or mild detergent. Then cleaned applicators shall be wiped with dry cloth and left for complete
drying.

10.3 Disinfection

10.5 Self-test Procedure


Each time the PhysioMG unit is started, a special self-test procedure is performed during which all
modules and functional blocks of the device are tested. If any errors or damage are detected, the relevant
information will be presented on the display screen. The module where the irregularity has been
detected is blocked and the associated function is not available.

If any mistakes of the hardware nature are detected, the unit will not start. An acoustic signal reminiscent of
"tapping" will be emitted. The number of signals ("taps") generated is adequate to the number of the error (see
Table 5 of error codes). For example, if seven signals are emitted (followed by a short break), this means that
the keyboard is damaged or one of the keys is locked.

In this situation, you must disconnect the unit from the network and contact an authorized service center
for a service and a possible repair.
